A holiday classic as you've never heard it before. Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit and Ebenezer Scrooge come to marvelous life in Patrick Stewart's critically-acclaimed solo interpretation of A Christmas Carol.
The star of X-Men and The Royal Shakespeare Company, Stewart has perfomed his one-man stage production of this holiday classic to sell-out audiences. Now, in this Grammy nominated studio recording of the dazzling achievement that has thrilled audiences in New York and Los Angeles, Stewart invites listeners to rediscover the timeless story at its source: Dickens' own words, presented in a soaring, virtuoso solo performance in which Stewart plays all parts.
"A low tech audio Christmas cart: no sound effects, no gimmicks, just one of the great voices of the contemporary classical stage creating as vivid a cast of characters as Dickens imagines. The Royal Shakespeare Company veteran ... doesn't so much read the story as inhabit it with infectious delight." --- Entertainment Weekly
"Reciting the litany of Scrooge's scrooginess, Stewart relishes the emotional gamut of meanness ... Humbug seldom sounds so good." --- Newsweek
"Not only is Patrick Stewart wonderful, but this is surely one of the best performances of A Christmas Carol ever recorded ... By sheer eerhy and dramatic skill, Stewart invests this story with not merely life, but freshness, excitement and wonder." --- The Washington Post
